Celestial being

Yuan Ming was in a pretty good mood at the moment. In the previous battle, his magical weapon was almost destroyed by Zuo Qinghui. If he got these two top-quality magical weapons, he could make up for the loss.

It's just that Zuo Qinghui is a monk from Changchun Temple, so it is unlikely that he would spend so much effort refining such a vicious magic weapon. The blood-colored jade slip and two magic weapons may have been captured by him after he killed a cultivator from the side sect.

Yuan Ming put away the two magical artifacts, the two jade slips, and Zuo Qinghui's physical body, then waved his hand and sent out a stream of green light, quickly circling around the cave, collecting all the magical artifacts destroyed in the battle just now. Come over.

He glanced at these discarded magic weapons with some pity, suddenly raised his eyebrows, picked up the inner armor that was pierced by the Golden Sun Ruler, and secretly exclaimed that he was lucky.

Although the inner armor seems to have been penetrated, the spiritual power on it has not dissipated, but has weakened a lot, and the four runes inside are still intact.

Yuan Ming's weapon refining skills have gained some momentum, and he knows that the situation of the golden inner armor can be repaired as long as suitable spiritual materials are incorporated into it.

Among the three top-quality spiritual materials in Zuo Qinghui's storage bag, there happens to be a piece of metallic ore. Later, he can find an opportunity to try to repair the inner armor.

Yuan Ming put away the golden inner armor and was about to put away the other fragmented magic weapons when he suddenly stopped and took a broken green sword, which was part of the poisonous green sword.

The poisonous sword was cut into two pieces by Jinyang Ruler. The runes had completely collapsed and the spiritual power in the material had also dissipated. The broken sword itself was worthless.

Yuan Ming stared at the cut of the broken sword and knocked it on the ground several times.

There was a soft "click" sound, and a piece of purple jade about an inch square fell down. There was no mana fluctuation, but there was a faint green light flashing.

Moreover, as soon as the dark green jade piece fell to the ground, the nearby ground turned purple-black at a speed visible to the naked eye. It seemed that something was spreading from the dark green jade piece and eroding the ground.

Yuan Ming raised his hand and used the object-repelling technique. Purple jade pieces levitated from the ground, and the corrosion of the ground quickly stopped.

"It seems that the source of the green poison sword's poison lies in this piece of purple jade. I wonder where this piece of jade comes from?" He looked at the purple jade piece carefully and thought in his mind.

There is a small scorpion pattern written on the other side of the jade piece, which is lifelike and seems to be some kind of mark.

Yuan Ming studied for a while and found nothing else, so he took out a white jade box and carefully placed the purple jade pieces inside.

The jade material is condensed and moist, which can effectively resist the erosion of highly toxic substances. This box is made of white water jade, which is especially good at repelling poisons. It should be able to effectively limit the spread of highly poisonous substances on the purple jade pieces.

Sure enough, the poison on the purple jade pieces was difficult to corrode the white water jade box, and it took a long time to corrode a few shallow purple marks.

Yuan Ming was worried, so he took out a larger jade box and put the white water jade box in it, and then put it away with peace of mind.

After taking care of these trivial matters, he sat down and considered his next move.

Zuo Qinghui was able to find Wangyue City, so there was no guarantee that others from Changchun Temple would not come looking for him. Now that he had killed Zuo Qinghui, he and Changchun Temple had become close friends anyway.

Previously, it could be said to be a public duel to sign a life and death certificate. Due to various factors, Changchun Guan obviously found it difficult to cause trouble for him, but now that he killed Zuo Qinghui, he had no such reason.

Obviously I can't stay here any longer.

It's just a pity to have such a secluded and safe cave.

Yuan Ming quickly walked around the cave and put away the Five Elements Disillusionment Array and the Bronze Thunder Pattern Array. He then put away all the casting furnaces and the spiritual herbs and elixirs in the medicine garden. The one soaked in The same goes for the black branches in the tank.

He had studied this black branch several times in the past five years, but still could not discover its origin and purpose.

Yuan Ming took King Kong, Huazhi and Leiyu with him, left the cave and came to Wangyue City.

Instead of going into the city, he wrote a letter to Hu Tu, instructing them to close the incense shop and leave as soon as possible. The incense and a few spiritual stones in the shop would belong to them.

Yuan Ming then summoned Thunderstorm, sat cross-legged on its back, and flew towards the north.

He has already thought about where to go next.

Yuan Ming turned over and took out a wooden box, which contained more than twenty jade slips of various colors.

He took out one of the jade slips, which was a map of Zhao State and the surrounding areas.

There is an extremely vast desert in the northwest of Zhao State. Because black storms blow in the desert, it is called the Black Wind Desert. It is located between Zhao State, Qin State in the west, and the extreme northern desert.

Although it is a boundless desert, it is not barren. There are many veins of spiritual materials buried underground. There are also many strange monsters living in the desert, attracting Zhao, Qin, and sect forces from the Northern Desert, as well as many casual cultivators to come here. Treasure hunting, mining.

The Black Wind Desert is located in the middle of the three parties. Zhao, Qin, and Beimo have been fighting for hundreds of years. No one can completely overwhelm the other two. Instead, a lot of combat power is consumed because of the fight.

The three parties later reached a truce agreement, no longer engaging in large-scale direct conflicts, and changed the open struggle to a secret fight.

Without the shock of large-scale battles, casual cultivators began to become active, digging for treasures and filling their pockets.

More than 90% of the mineral resources in the Black Wind Desert are occupied by the three major forces, but the resources here are really rich, and the scattered benefits left out are enough to fatten up a large number of casual cultivators, not to mention there are countless monsters to hunt here.

The reputation of Black Wind Desert for its plumpness gradually spread, attracting more casual cultivators to flock there.

Wherever there are people, fights are inevitable, and murders and robberies are common.

The Zhao State, the Qin State, and the sect forces in the Northern Desert came here to earn benefits. The Black Wind Desert did not belong to their territory, and they turned a blind eye to the struggles of the casual cultivators. In most cases I don't care.

Seeing that the Black Wind Desert is unmanaged, bandits, sect traitors, and evil cultivators from the three realms of immortality have also come here, making the place even more turbulent.

Today's Black Wind Desert has completely become a synonym for chaos and bloodshed. No one knows how many monks are hidden here. Even the three major forces that dominate this place can only barely figure out their own territories.

What Yuan Ming is going to now is the Black Wind Desert.

Changchun Temple and Black Wind Desert are separated by the entire Zhao Kingdom. No matter how long they stretch their hands, they can't reach here.

As for the dangers in the Black Wind Desert, Yuan Ming doesn't care about it. His Ming Yue Jue has reached the fourth level, and he has great illusions and magical powers. With the addition of powerful magical weapons such as the Soul-Destroying Sword, Yuan Ming can't deal with ordinary pill formation and below. Monk, there is no problem in protecting yourself.

Yuan Ming put the jade map slip back into the wooden box and took another white jade slip.

This is a jade slip obtained from Sha Hao, which contains the great elder's experience in practicing the Dream Butterfly Illusion Technique.

In the previous battle, although the Dream Butterfly Illusion Technique played a significant role, it was still not powerful enough and needed to continue to improve.

He summoned his consciousness and entered the jade slip.

boom!

A suction force suddenly emitted from the jade slip, swallowing up his consciousness.

Yuan Ming was surprised. When he first explored this jade slip, he had swallowed up his spiritual consciousness, but it had not happened again in the past five years. Now there must be a reason for the old phenomenon to reappear.

As his mind was spinning, he did not withdraw his consciousness, but allowed the jade slip to be swallowed up. The jade slip also glowed with wisps of white light, quickly becoming brighter.

Yuan Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and summoned his spiritual consciousness to send it into the jade slip.

After a few breaths, the white jade slip stopped absorbing spiritual consciousness, and all the white light on the surface dissipated.

Yuan Ming hurriedly checked and found that the jade slip was indeed different from the past. Finally, many new contents emerged, which were also left by the great elder.

The beginning of the new content details the reason for the abnormality of the jade slip, which was caused by the secret technique. It must be injected with powerful enough spiritual consciousness for it to appear.

Yuan Ming suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the white jade slip had swallowed up his consciousness before and returned to calm. It turned out that his consciousness was not strong enough back then. Now that the Ming Yue Jue has broken through the fourth level, it has met the requirements.

He carefully read the new content. Xi Cangqiong had spent so much effort hiding it, so it must be important information.

As he watched, Yuan Ming's expression gradually changed, showing uncontrollable joy, and finally burst into laughter.

These new contents are a secret method of soul cultivation called "Soul Pill". The specific content is to condense the power of the soul to form a soul pill similar to a golden pill.

According to the content of the secret technique, the soul pill has the effect of assisting in breaking through the bottleneck of the pill formation stage, and the auxiliary effect is great, and can increase the chance of pill formation by half.

Since Yuan Ming entered the world of cultivating immortals, all immortal cultivators have been looking forward to the formation of pills, not only because the monks in the formation stage have tyrannical power that far exceeds the monks in the foundation construction stage, but also because after forming the pill, their longevity can be greatly increased.

The lifespan of a monk in the foundation-building stage is only more than two hundred years at most, but once the golden elixir is formed, the lifespan can be more than doubled to more than five hundred years.

However, the step of condensing the golden elixir is too difficult, which makes countless immortal cultivators sigh.

If one were to break through the foundation building stage with the help of elixirs such as foundation building pills, as long as one had good qualifications and a firm mind, there would still be a certain chance of being able to overcome it. However, it would be a hundred times more difficult to advance to the foundation building stage.

It can be said that at this point, the influence of aptitude and character has been minimal. Even Tianlinggen monks are not very sure that they can cross this hurdle and form elixirs. It almost all depends on God's will and chance.

There are nearly a thousand disciples in Biluodong, and there are only a few monks in the Danjie stage. Even in the Central Plains sects such as Shengye Sect, Changchun Guan, etc., the number of disciples is more than ten times that of Biluodong, and the existence in the Danjie stage is still rare.

Yuan Ming has a physique with four spiritual roots, and is among the worst in the world of immortal cultivation in terms of qualifications. He only managed to achieve the breakthrough through the Foundation Establishment Stage with the help of Foundation Establishment Pills, Foundation Establishment Spirit Incense, and the Heaven Stealing Cauldron.

Regarding pill formation, he could have said that he had no confidence at all.

Now that he has obtained a secret technique that can increase the chance of forming a pill by half, how can he not be ecstatic!

The reason why the condensed soul elixir can assist in elixir formation is that on the one hand, the soul elixir condensed by soul power and the golden elixir condensed by mana are similar in nature.

The so-called golden elixir is not just the condensation of magic power, but also the introverted fusion of essence, energy, spirit and intention, polished into elixir, golden and round, hard to be affected, and even more difficult to be destroyed. This is the elixir's meaning.

Condensing golden elixirs with mana can produce elixir meaning, and the same can be done by condensing soul power into soul elixirs. If one can form soul elixirs and understand the elixir's meaning, it will be much easier to form elixirs with mana.

According to the content of the jade slip, after the soul elixir is formed, it needs to be introduced into the Dantian, and the elixir of the soul elixir is used to draw the mana to condense to form a fake elixir.

With such double assistance, the probability of forming a pill will be greatly increased. Xi Cangqiong relied on this soul pill technique to break through the pill forming stage back then.
